Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.

How to claim a part, and "how it all works" hereAll parts are gender neutral.
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.

Please claim roles (the numbers in the first column below)! Please note: All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. When you submit your recording, you will be placing your recording in the public domain as well.

If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

For the role of Anne Warrington Witherup you will include the standard intro for each chapter - namely "Chapter [#] of John Kendrick Bangs , by Peeps at People Being Certain Papers from the Writings of Anne Warrington Witherup . This is a Librivox recording. All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit Librivox dot org. Chapter [#] [Interviewee]"

Hi Kim:
In the Maclaren chapter there are some telegrams sent between Maclaren and Witherup. As I am reading Maclaren, I assume you want me to read the content of the telegrams sent from him. Yes?
I also assume that the Witherup reader is also the narrator since this book is written in the first person.

I've been reading through the text to get an idea of what I'm reading and found some speaking characters in some chapters that don't have a line in the MW. Since the hackman in chapter 2 is listed, I'm assuming you may want these other parts listed as well.

Nansen - publisher & train ticket agent
Emperor William - Grand High Chamberlain
Andrew Lang - the Forelady (who i think is different from Miss Phipps-Phipps)
Henryk Sienkiewicz - The De Reszkes of the prior chapter send Ann a telegraph

Thank you. Ch1 & 2 are PL OK so far.
Please can you put in a role credit for each chapter as I'm doing the cast list by chapter. Not to worry if you haven't done so.
Also please can you try to get your volume as close to 89db as possible. With a DR it is important that all the parts are at the same volume.
